CREEP BEHAVIOUR OF GEOTEXTILES ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988

This article presented a nonlinear consitutional relation for the creep behaviour of geotextiles. Suitable methods for testing, and for data analysis and presentation were suggested. The data presentation method was based on isochronous load-strain curves and creep isochronous stiffness. The test apparatus was a basic rig and load system containing either a direct or a lever loading device, designed to conduct one-step rapid loading tests. A programmeable data logger, capable of logging 100 channels, per second, at a minimum logging interval of 0.2 seconds was used. A one step loading test, using several different loads within the relevant operational range, was used to establish the load-strain-time relationship of the materials. Loads were sustained for at least 1000 hours. Deformations were measured using mechanical dial gauges. The creep behaviour of 4 basic types of geotextiles were measured. These geotextile types included a melt bonded non woven, a needle punched non woven, and a composite geotextile. The methods used were found to be suitable for all four types of geotextiles. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
